I like feel good movies; it's inevitable that a lot of those are just a pleasant way to pass time - get over your Christmas-Eve hangover or enjoy as a family. No intelligence required.
That's OK, but but this movie is insultingly transparent. At the moment you see Christine look at the photos in the bakery, you know you've solved the mystery.
What bothered me too, was the unnecessary but seemingly inevitable for this kind of movie, appearance of the ex-husband, claiming custody. Then the way both Christine and her love interest reacted on being stood up; they both didn't seem to be bothered too much - weird. Not to speak about the clumsy way the locket was lost - my-oh-my is this movie made for 4 year old?
Regarding the fact that you know beforehand what you're up to, when you select a movie like this, and that the acting was not too bad, it get 6 stars, but 4 for the plot would be more realistic.
